Yo author! Some great content there you have. But has your site run out of submissions or hunks to put up lately? This is like the 3rd or Zillionth time you are re-blogging the same bunch of people over and over and over again. It's almost like a Temple of Worship for just these same few sg guys. Ought to try something new before you lose your fans! Thank u ~

Hello there, thanks for writing in.

Firstly I appreciate your honesty and since you’ve asked, maybe it’s a good opportunity for me to shed some light. I understand every point of what you’ve said and I have to agree with you. But let’s just say things happen for a reason and I don’t think it’s quite possible for me to do anything about it for now. 

It’s getting a little hard to keep up with rate of posting more than ever.

Apart from fan submissions which proved to be a quick shortcut in doing up quality entries, doing up new entries is actually more time consuming than most would think. It has also got to do with my style of posting though. Browsing, selecting the right pictures, cropping, merging, uploading, sequence arranging, compatibility checking, rearranging making into a collage-like entry. I simply have to do it this way, perhaps it’s something I’ve gotten used to.

That being said, while I have the option of taking the easier way out, I wouldn’t want to upload something just for the sake of uploading. These are all apart from many other challenges I have to manage with every new entry but I shall not elaborate on them for now.

Unlike the examples of some for profit pages or even Youtubers, I don’t do this for a living nor made a single cent out of this. Therefore I can only do up new entries whenever I’m free. Unfortunately time is not on my side these days and I wouldn’t want to sacrifice time with my friends or loved ones in exchange for more time to post newer stuff here.

There is no doubt that there is some form of expectation from the readers here, but I would want to think that I’ve done a good job keeping up with posting entries of my own all this while given the unexpected longevity of my tumblr blog. Which comparatively have had a longer lifespan than similar SG tumblr blogs of the past. Not trying to say that it’s an absolutely fantastic job well done but I am more than satisfied with what I have here. In fact it has surpassed my own expectations when I first started out.

Apologies for the recent reblog of certain entries but I’m still getting a hundred new followers every few days so I’m just trying to tidy up the page a little while keeping the new followers entertained while I can.

Ever since I’ve surpassed the 20,000 followers mark I’m actually no longer that concerned about the absolute number of fans I have, especially so for now, given the reasons I’ve said above.

All good things come to an end, just sooner or later.

Maybe it’s time to change things a little.
